[QUOTE="macv, post: 19880, member: 2871"] Hi guys, after being excited about the new scope, I deceided to read some instructions that came with it. In order to take a reading with this scope, it must first be set on 12X. But I will check it out also with the tape trick. The formula that Jeff gave to me seems to be very easy. Almost too easy for me to think that I understand it. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] But tell me how would you handle this situation. The bad guy stands approx.6 feet tall. So , if I get all of this,this is how it is worked out. 72 x27.77= 1999.44 and say he is ranged at 2.5 md. That would make the dis. 799.7 yds. But, would it be better to say 36" and that would be the area between top of head and waist line? Now, calculating it that way makes the distance 399.8 yds. Is my shot going to be way off it's mark. Or is this just another way to figure out this problem. Or am I making this harder for myself. Any answers would be helpful. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
